He declares that the government agents figured on the acreage -In many places throughout the South bv taking observations from railroad car windows. Hustling the Clergy.

Prom Harper's Weekly. A' Western newspaper man, once connected with a journal In Denver, was one day in conversation with his chief when a clerical-looking gentleman entered the office. "Sir," said he. gravely, "I intend next Sunday to preach a sermon upon football, and it has occurred to me that an enterprising paper like yours would be pleased to have my manuscript. I have no doubt that any number of your readers would be glad to read it anfl "All, right, all right!" Interrupted the busy editor, "but you'll have to along.

Get it in early--early, mind! Our sporting page Is the first to- close." The world's 'baseball championship contest is on to-d-ay. Because of the intense rivalry between New Tork and 'Philadelphia, and because of "Muggsy" McGraw, this week will overshadow any previous one In the hisory of the national game. The first battle will be fought this afternoon, with the flghtlng Giants on one side and! tho plodding Athletics on the other. 'Twill be a battle worth seeing. To-day's Line-up.

Tfie battle array for to-day will be as follows: New York--Browne, right field; Donlin, center neld; Mctfann, flist base; Mcrtos, left fleld; Dahle-n, shortstop; Devlin, third base; Gilbert, second base; Bowerman, catcher; Mathewson, pitcher. Athletics--Hartsel, left Held; Lord, center fleld; Davis, flist tase; L. Cross, third base; Seybold, right field; Murphy, second base; M. Cross, short stop; Powess, catcher; Plank, pitcher. New Yorkers are ready to back their faith in the Giants, but Philadelphia's are wisely holding on to their money until they ascertain the possible pitching strength of their staff.

That Quaker City people have been slow to make wagers on their team's chances is due to the fact that they want to Itarn just how good the team Is after the wind-up of the American season. That could nox possibly be decided until the very last minute. It has been settled almost beyond doubt that Waddell will not be considered as a factor in the world's series. That was practically settled Saturday afternoon, when the great southpaw was displaced by another pitcher. With Waddell out of it, it is presumed that the Giants will be the favorite, but until it was ascertained that this pitcher would not be fit to work, New Yorkers certainly had no justification for picking their team as the probable winner.

New York is going to depend upon Mathewson to win the world's championship, so New York papers say. Pittsburg two years ago depended upon one Phil- llppe to win that honor from Boston. And we All still remember what happened to Phillippe. This series of games Cannot DP a one-man affair. McGlnnlty is to pitch when does not.

The "Iron Man" has earned that titlt- through endurance all- around pitching ability. But he Has not been the 'McGinnlty this year was in the American League in 1901 as a member of the Baltimore club. He made a name for himself prior to that time, but he could not maintain it in the American League, which was not as strong then as it is now. The Athletics jvere fond of his pitching, and he will find the same crowd at the bat in the wiwld'9 series. The other New York pitchers may be used only In the event of an emergency.

Fear Southpaws. The Giants dread a good left-hand pitcher, and Plank is one of the best. Were Waddell In his 1902 form, these southpaws could pitch the entire series for the Athletics, and they would probably defeat their opponents. Mack may select Bender to pitch the opening game, because the Indian will have 20,000 loyal rooters to help him. Plank should, be reserved for the game In New York tomorrow, because he can stand the gaff from the Gotham partisans better than any of the others.

The task will devolve upon these two and Coakley, who has been successful this year, but was twice driven out of the box in the Washington series. Manager Mack thinks that the former collegian was slightly overworked, but with several days' rest will be able to do his share this week. Bender, in his best form, has great speed, and a flne, quick break to his delivery, and he surely demonstrated last Thursday that he Is fit. Philadelphia places the greatest reliance in Left-hander Plank. McGraVs Estimate of His Pitchers.

In a signed article in the New York Herald, reviewing the campaign of the Giants, Manager McGraw has the follow- ing to say of his two pitchers, which may give fans a good line on their possibilities 'in the world's championship series: In some respects we had a better pitching staff than we possessed In 1904. The bulk ot the'work that year tell upon Mathemon and McQInnlty. This year ire hare hail fire men, whom a part of the time I alternated with as much regularity as conditions demanded, and who were successful in winning a majority ot their games. It noon became evident that Mathewson was in the beat form that he ever has displayed In the National League, and without overworking a player so valuable to the success of the club I used where exigency sometimes demanded that we make a bold fight against some particular club, either to stop a winning streak on their part or to counterbalance an occasional defeat or so for us. McGinnity has pitched good ball during the year with an nnusual measure of bad lack.

At the beginning ol the season he complained a little of his shoulder, and I was careful not to permit him to overexert himself. Aa the season progressed he grew better, but It la usually a rule that when a great pitcher has a good year he is not likely to be so successful the year following, and I think that McGinnity worried a little over his inability to feel that winning power which Is the stock In trade of a thoroughly successful man--and something which he has always possessed--and now and then lost his, effectiveness. But notwithstanding 'the fact that- ho did not acquire such a large percentage of victories this year as he did In 1904 he pitched championship ball, taking his Barnes collectively, as Is easily proven by the records. Comparison of Clubs. The New York Press, which thinks tr-at the teams "are evenly matched," has the following to say abput them: la their league the Giants ohow better in individual averages than do the Athletics, but It Is the consensus of opinion among well-posted baseball men that the American League pitchers on the whole are more effective than those in the OU can depend on ol Clothes to be all that style demands or quality can call for.

Ave. Joseph McGinnity, Famous "Iron Man" of the Giants. National organization Consequently, the gravest question that arises Is whether the Giants will be able to maintain their pace with the stick against the great twirlers of Mack's team New York Is third In team batting In tho National League, while Philadelphia is at the head ot the Americans in tho same respect. But batting is only one feature of ths sport. Fast fielding may decide the result, and in club performance In that line the Otants are second only to Chicago, while Athletics stand fourth or fifth In their league.

George: AJ. Graham, sporting editor of I the, Philadelphia North American, in his comparison of the teams, says: Whatever may be said against the conduct of the men on whom McGraw places his rellajice, it would be folly to deny that they form a great baseball team. They have pretty nearly everything. The pitchers are strong; there is no better pair of catchers flmn Buwerman and Bresnahan, and infield and outfield are made up of men who can play the positions right up to the handle. With Waddell In form, the writer would feel reasonably confident of Athletic victory.

The Phll- adelphlans, while not as showy as their National League rivals, have In them that steady plodding ability to win games. BEADY FOB, BIG CROWD. that this series Is the first of Its kind in the history of the national game here lias aroused more Interest than any preceding baseball event. Manager Hack, of the Philadelphia club, to-night received the following telegram: Congratulations, you and your boys, on winning peninant, and you have, the best wishes of myself and White Sox In coming contest with New York. CHARLES eOMISKEY.

Johnson, constitute the national commission, will arrive to-morrow. The New York players will also here to-morrow, and a large delegation of New. York enthusiasts Is expected to come with the team- New York, Oct.

New York Na. tional baseball players, champions for tlie second consecutive season, to-night tasted some ofl the sweets, of victory. Before starting over to Philadelphia to meet the American 1 League team for the world's baseball championship, a big vaudeville bjll, Including a bunch of 'well-known head-liners, was given, for their benefit at the Majestic Theater. DeWolf Hopper recited 'Casey at the Bat" as an appropriate selection, and the whole. lot of performers made remarks equally pertinent.

Among those who did things were Nat M. Wills, James J. Corbett. Carujs, Cherldah Simpson, and others. RECORDS OF HATlOHALS.

The three detectives- were strolling along Third avenue when they saw Martin come out of a flat house. They Kmnd on him a silver pitcher and two cut glass candlesticks, which he said had been given to him. to be pawned by two men whom he met on Third avenxie.

Martin finally turned to Detective Sergeant Reilly and said: "Look here, I'll tell you how I got those things.
